The Year of the Forest 2011

Proclaimed by UN, so this is official!
Pinus nigra subsp. nigra - Austrian Black pine (47°52' N 16°06' E)
My favourite tree is the black pine, has been so for quite some time - actually since I discovered the beauty of this species after I moved to Vienna a decade or so ago.
I still can't get enough of that one, though I feel that I might move on to another species some time soon.

(Acer campestre? Or Fagus sylvatica? Or Quercus pubescens, perchance? Actually, I might go for Ulmus minor even, or the very common Betula pendula. Just stay tuned, and find out for yourselves whereto my interests will move - I really couldn't tell myself as they've got all their charms!)
